+1 the over reaction and hyper snowflakeness of younger people are creating a bunch of people with no resilience and being too sensitive. |
More than likely, the grandmother swatted the DH when he was a kid. I assume he turned out to be normal, otherwise OP's judgement would be in question, too. |
A teacher can absolutely give my kid a time out. But if a teacher laid a finger on my child I would immediately pursue legal action. Because no one can hit my kid— including me. So for the pro-hitters, again, can a teacher hit your kid? If not why not? |
I don’t hit, swat or pop my kids but if my kid was defiant to an elder and kicking at them I would be furious with them and not upset at the person’s reaction.
They would also be punished by me. OP- why on earth do you think your kid acted like that? |
And yet the ones shooting up schools are not those snowflakes, funny how that works |
OP is not responding but I would guess the kid didn't want to go. Dilemma: stay home with kid or make them go? |
Actually, the extremists on this thread would probably argue that OP and her child are unwitting victims of DH's family's generational violence. |
So you're ok with a teacher, librarian, police officer, fast food worker, crossing guard, etc "swatting" your kid? |
Apparently the kid wanted to wear flip-flops not sneakers. Perhaps the child has sensory issues. I think an evaluation by a child psychologist or developmental pediatrician would be helpful. OP? |
that's not what you said? You said "Are the pro-hitting people good if it’s a stranger?", and yes, you included "teacher", but you started with stranger. Teachers aren't family members. A grand"parent" can help raise a child. If OP doesn't want her MIL to raise her child, then don't have her babysit. Simple. But, IMO OP is making a big deal out of something that's really not that big of a deal in terms of that child's life. |
Not hard Your kid was acting up On the leg He spoke up You weren’t coming to discipline him anyways. All sounds good now to me. Let’s see if natural consequences works for your brat or if he continues to act up around other adults and “give them a hard time.” Maybe forcing grandma to apologize for parenting your kid will further empower his spoilt brat behavior with houseguests? That or this is yet another TROLL post |
She wasn’t babysitting.
You were sitting in the other room. Likely doing nothing, maybe fondling your iPhone. |
I'm ok with grandparents disciplining my kid. Not strangers or non family members. Do you expect the teacher to parent your kids? Do you treat the like family. You people have completely lost the plot. You think a grandparent is like a teacher or a fast food worker. gtfo, and go seek therapy. |
This is literally the option she's considering, why are you still sh*tting on her? |
Another troll who doesnt understand "natural consequences". |
